    Hello daddy:

    No it won't. When a warrant is issued, probation stops tolling.

    Hello again, daddy:

    The days you are in violation don't count. Therefore, every day you are in violation your probation is extended one day.

    Hello again, daddy:

    What I've been trying to tell you is that your probation WON'T end. The days you are in violation DON'T COUNT.

    Once they violated you and issued a warrant, your probation is frose, it will not end, ever at this point, the warrant stays active till they catch you or you die.

    So waiting just makes it worst and most likely you will serve longer time.
    They can make you go to prison or jail for the entire probation period you had , not just what was left) so if you had 2 years, you could go to jail for 2 years.

    You need to get an attorney and turn yourself in.

    Your Judge will decide at your Probation Violation Hearing what your penalty is. You could do your entire original sentence in jail/prison, you could have more probation added onto your existing probation. Your original probation at this point is toast.

    Even if you turn yourself in you will have to wait your VOP hearing in jail. They won't take your "promise to appear" at your VOP hearing as you've already absconded once on them so get ready to wait in jail.

    And warrants for your arrest never expire. You can flee to another state but if you are caught in a traffic stop (for instance) the cops will take you into custody, call the other state and wait for them to decide if they want to come and get you or not. In the meantime you could wait weeks for the other state to make up their mind if they want you or not. You could also be detained at any DMV office as well.
